Fingerstyle guitarists and
their music are a Heartistry specialty. Label founder and guitarist, Tom
Draughon, wouldn't have it any other way. Tom is a highly trained singer
as well, so Heartistry presents the best of BOTH worlds - intricate fingerstyle
guitar AND well sung original and traditional songs.

If you like Appalachian Old Time
music, we have something for you, too. So, did this music make it up to
the Lake Superior region? You bet! Crandon, Wisconsin was
settled by folks from Kentucky. Tom is a native of North Carolina (it's
in his blood...), and has been characterized by (get this) a lutenist,
as being "...a really good banjo player...", and a darned good
fiddler, too. So, if you like Old Time music in the style of Red Clay Ramblers
or Doc Watson, this site is for you.

Traditional Child Ballads
and original compositions in that style will captivate your interest and
take you back to the time of castles and knights. Tom's philosophy with
traditional music is - the older, the better! It's really cool to sing,
or listen to, a song that you know somebody sang 500 years ago!

Native American Music
Heartistry Music Welcomes Anakwad (Frank Montano). As well as making and
playing native flutes, Anakwad is also a singer / songwriter whose thoughtful
compositions relate to the spirituality and real life issues of native americans
today.
